DISPATCH STAFF REPORT

COLUMBUS —
A former part-time
Lowndes County
Sheriff’s Office depu-
ty has been arrested
for embezzlement.
Jefferey Allen
Banks, 47, who has
worked as a part-time Banks
auxiliary deputy since April 2017, is
accused of misappropriating $6,500
in funds from a Columbus business
where he was also working, accord-
ing to an LCSO press release. Last
week, the business owner reported
Banks received the money from cus-
tomers and never reported or depos-
ited it into the business’ account.
After investigating the report,
LCSO administrators terminated
Banks’ position with the department
Wednesday. Banks turned himself
in and was arrested Thursday.
The press release specified the
embezzlement did not occur in the
scope of Banks’ duties with LCSO.

“When you consider
the fact that a mid-size
car or truck costs about
$30,000, they don’t think
anything of putting down
money for that,” she said.
“Ten years later it’s not
worth anything. A col-
lege education gives back
for a lifetime. It’s still the
best investment anybody
can make. The most ex-
pensive one is one with a
student who doesn’t com-
plete with a degree.”
Miller said many fac-
ulty members haven’t
received raises in four or
five years. The Chronicle
of Higher Education has
listed The W as one of
the best universities to
work for seven years in a
row now, Miller said. Ad-
ditionally 67 percent of
faculty and staff donate to
the MUW Foundation —
significantly higher than
the national average of
20 percent of faculty and
staff donating to their in-
stitutions.
Miller told The Dis-
patch Friday that IHL has
asked for funding that
would see about a 6 per-
cent raise for faculty over
six years. She doesn’t
know, however, if the Leg-
islature will fund all of
that.

The average salary for
a faculty member is about
$55,905, she said, though
that varies pretty widely
between disciplines.
In answer to a question
from one Exchange mem-
ber, Miller said that while
the emphasis being put
on technical degrees and
skills is important, the
need for individuals with
college degrees and liber-
al arts educations will not
go away.
“It’s true. We need
plumbers. We need brick-
layers. We need all of
that,” Miller said. “But the
beauty of a university de-
gree and of a liberal arts
degree — and all of our

State of the nation

Trump may not even understand corruption
Speaking to
the “enemies of
the people” at the
United Nations this
week, President
Donald Trump
demonstrated that
he may not under-
stand what corrup-
tion is. Seriously.
Trump’s favorite
gambit is to accuse
others of what he Mona Charen
himself has done —
self-dealing, lying,
sexual misconduct. And he
has displayed a flair for jujitsu
— turning a weapon against
his critics. “Fake news” began
as a slam against the social
media armies who circulated
false stories about Hillary
Clinton (recall that she was
deathly ill?) and other Trump
opponents in 2016. Trump
made it his own.
But this tactic seems to be
wearing thin. Trump’s attempt closing of four investigations
to sell presidential sharpies
after the Hurricane Dorian
debacle — doubling down on
error — fell utterly flat. This
week, with the whistleblow-
er scandal in full bloom, he
conveyed something signif-
icant. He knows
how to engage in
schoolyard taunts:
“I know what you
are, but what am
I?” but he may not
fully grasp the
difference between
corruption and
honesty.
After spending
several minutes
denying that he did
anything to pres-
sure the Ukrainian
president, and calling such
allegations a “witch hunt” and
a “hoax,” he cited something
that he claimed the news me-
dia “refuse to report on.” This
was a May 2018 letter sent to
Ukraine’s prosecutor general
by three Democratic senators,
Patrick Leahy, Robert Menen-
dez and Richard Durbin. The
letter, the president alleged,
“expressed concern about the
they said were critical. In the
letter they implied that their
support for U.S. assistance
to Ukraine was at stake, and
that if they didn’t do the right
thing, they wouldn’t get any
assistance. Gee! Doesn’t that
sound familiar? Doesn’t that
sound familiar?”
It does, but the letter
doesn’t support Trump’s
version. The senators’ missive
(reported out by CNN, inci-
dentally) concerned reports
that Yuri Lutsenko, the former
prosecutor general, was block-
ing anti-corruption probes,
including Robert Mueller’s
investigation. That was the
topic the senators addressed,
and in no way, shape or form
did they do so in the mafia-don
style that Trump employs so
frequently, and demonstrated
with President Zelensky. They
never said or even implied that
U.S. assistance to Ukraine
was at stake. They wrote: “As
strong advocates for a robust
and close relationship with
Ukraine, we believe that our
cooperation should extend to
such legal matters, regardless
of politics. Ours is a relation-
ship built on a foundation of
respect for the rule of law
and accountable democratic
institutions.”
The senators praised
Ukraine for making “signif-
icant progress in building
these institutions despite
ongoing military, economic,
and political pressure from
Moscow. We have supported
that capacity-building process
and are disappointed that
some in Kyiv appear to have
cast aside these principles in
order to avoid the ire of Presi-
dent Trump.”
Were the senators moti-
vated by partisanship? Quite
likely. But was anything in
their letter inappropriate? No.
Did it remotely correspond
to Trump’s accusation? No.
Did they attempt, as Trump
clearly did, to circumvent the
normal diplomatic channels
by suggesting that Ukrainian
authorities communicate
directly with their private law-
yers? Did they attempt, as the
whistleblower claims Trump
did, to hide the evidence of
their letter? No, and no.
And don’t forget, Trump
had just spent several min-
utes angrily denying that he
had done anything to pres-
sure Ukraine or that he had
threatened the loss of U.S.
assistance. Then he cited a
16-month-old letter that did
none of the things he stands
accused of doing, to suggest
that “everybody does it.”
As a psychological matter,
Trump may be sincere, in his
way. Corrupt people tend to
tell themselves that the world
is terrible, that everyone is
crooked and that they would
be chumps to be honest in
such circumstances. Recall
that Trump wanted an attor-
ney general to protect him the
way he thought Eric Holder
protected Barack Obama —
that is, corruptly. He devoted
the better part of two years
decrying Jeff Sessions for do-
ing the right thing, apparently
oblivious to the moral perver-
sity he was demonstrating.
There is some evidence that
he and Rudy Giuliani genu-
inely believe the hack of DNC
emails was some sort of inside
job. Who knows, Trump may
actually entertain the idea that
Antonin Scalia was murdered.
But if Trump is twisted
and occasionally delusional,
partisans who cloak him with
excuses and sympathy are
exactly what Trump thinks
everybody is — corrupt.

Universal Basic Income
hinders wealth creation
The latest Democratic presidential primary
debate was largely predictable, but one lit-
tle-known candidate, entrepreneur Andrew Yang,
created some buzz with his pre-debate promise
to do “something no presidential candidate has
ever done before.” Yang promised to give 10
people $1,000 a month for a year to reinforce his
support for something known as Universal Basic
Income. Despite all the hype, it’s much ado about
very little.
The Universal Basic Income idea has been
around for many years. It’s mostly touted by pro-
gressives who are eager to help the poor. In their
view, poverty is caused simply by a lack of mon-
ey. Give poor people money and problem solved.
But some conservatives, including free-market
economist Milton Friedman, backed the idea.
They argued that it could reduce the need for
meddlesome social-service bureaucracies. It
could cut out the middle man.
In its latest incarnation, the program largely
is the hobby horse of tech moguls who fear that
their industry is leaving many less-skilled work-
ers in the dust. “In the next 12 years, one out of
three American workers are at risk of losing their
jobs to new technologies,” according to Yang’s
campaign website. It argues that “the Freedom
Dividend, a universal basic income (UBI) for all
American adults, no strings attached” is the first
step in avoiding an “unprecedented crisis.” Yang
points to Stockton, Calif., as a model.
Stockton officials are handing out $500 a
month, without any limits on how the money can
be spent, to 130 randomly selected low-income
city residents. The program is privately funded,
which keeps taxpayers out of it. But the proj-
ect’s goal is to create positive stories about the
value of just giving people money — and create
a blueprint that other agencies can emulate. But
no matter who pitches it or pays for it, Universal
Basic Income is a terrible idea.
For starters, there will never be enough mon-
ey to endlessly provide a financial boost to every
American who can use one. Private foundations
can put their own money through a paper shred-
der if they choose, but taxpayers shouldn’t be
forced to pay for no-strings-attached handouts.
In theory, UBI-type programs could replace wel-
fare bureaucracies, but they won’t. Supporters
don’t suggest using the money to replace existing
welfare payments, but to supplement them.
These “free money” programs only diminish
the value of work, education and investment.
Anyone would enjoy having an extra 500 bucks in
their wallet every month, but the way to prosper
is to learn new skills, work hard and invest. The
idea that poverty can be eliminated by simply
giving people cash promotes the idea that wealth
is about luck. It therefore encourages bad behav-
iors and a passivity about one’s circumstances.
“I think poverty is immoral. I think it’s anti-
quated and I think it shouldn’t exist,” said Stock-
ton Mayor Michael Tubbs, in a recent interview
about his city’s program. No one likes poverty,
but such sentiments make it harder to combat by
creating the impression that prosperity is created
by waving a magic wand.
Instead of figuring out new ways to redistrib-
ute existing wealth, policy makers need to figure
out ways to boost business investment and job op-
portunities. It makes great headlines for mayors
and presidential candidates to fund a lottery, but
Universal Basic Income basically is nonsense.

Military sees frustrating trend as suicides spike

‘We are caught up in what some call a national
epidemic of suicide among our youth’
By LOLITA C. BALDOR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Military sui-
cides surged this year to a record
high among active duty troops,
continuing a deadly trend that Pen-
tagon officials say is frustrating and
they are struggling to counter.
The Army, Navy and Marine
Corps all saw the rate of suicides go
up as well as the overall numbers,
with only the Air Force showing
a decrease, according to data re-
Defense Secretary Mark Esper
leased by the Pentagon Thursday.
Suicides among members of the Re-
serves and the National Guard also
grew.
The difficulties involved in iden-
tifying service members with pos-
sible problems and finding ways to
prevent suicides were underscored
earlier this month when the Navy
reported that three crew members
who served on the USS George
H.W. Bush took their own lives with-
in a week.
Asked about the deaths in the
crew of the aircraft carrier, Defense
Secretary Mark Esper said, “I wish
I could tell you we have an answer
to prevent further, future suicides in
the Armed Services. We don’t. We
are caught up in what some call a
national epidemic of suicide among
our youth.”
The number of suicides across
the military increased from 511 in
2017 to 541 in 2018. According to
the Pentagon, the most at-risk pop-
ulation is young enlisted men, and
at least 60 percent of the time they
chose a gun as their suicide method.
Army suicides went from 114 to 139,
while the Marines went from 43 to
58 and the Navy went from 65 to 68.
The Air Force dipped from 63 to 60.

Bulldogs, Rebels battle to draw at Mag Cup

By Ben Portnoy
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — As
the persistent banging
of drums reverberated
throughout the stands
at the Mississippi State
Soccer Field Thursday,
senior forward MaKayla
Waldner began her run.
As a ball from class-
mate Hailey Zerbel trick-
led a touch past her and
toward the feet of an Ole
Miss defender, Waldner
quickly gathered.
Catching just enough
to poke it free, Waldner
corralled the ball, took

of Rebels’ keeper Ashley
Orkus.
Sprinting toward the
MSU sideline, Waldner
joined a raucous group of
orange penny-clad team-
mates.
The Bulldogs had their
equalizer.
“Zerbel kicked it long
and I knew I’m going
to have to run through
some people,” Wald-
ner quipped. “So I ran
through the first girl and
said ‘OK, let’s just hope I
can get this one.’ And so
just a little dink touch and
that’s all that matters and
then that brought the in-
tensity to the game.”
Playing in front of
1,015 fans, MSU battled to
a 1-1 draw Saturday night
against their cross-state
rivals.
Ole Miss earned the
lone lead of the game
when Haley Stackpole
beat MSU goalkeeper
Gabby English with an
18th minute strike.
The goal came just a
few minutes after Rebels
midfielder Julia Phillips
rang a header off the
crossbar following an Ole
Miss corner kick.

EMCC FOOTBALL ‘He’s just going to be himself’

Early scores
lead EMCC
to victory in
turnover-filled
game Thursday
By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com

SCOOBA — Jason
Brownlee smiled like he
knew the question was
coming.
No. 5 East Mississippi
Community College led
17-0 with just less than
10 minutes left in the
fourth quarter Thursday
against East Central and
the EMCC sophomore
receiver tried something
unconventional in an at-
tempt to score his third
receiving touchdown of
the game.
He caught a pass from
backup quarterback Ja-
mari Jones, raced inside
the East Central 5-yard Matt Bush/USA TODAY Sports
line and tried to hurdle Mississippi State Bulldogs quarterback Garrett Shrader (6) passes against the Kentucky Wildcats during the second quarter Saturday at
Warriors defensive back Davis Wade Stadium.

Miss. State’s Garrett Shrader is proving

Fred McGee.
“He didn’t go low, and
I jumped up,” Brownlee
said. “He just met me
right there.”
Brownlee lost the foot-
ball and it squirted out of
play through the side of
the end zone, resulting in
a touchback and handing
the ball back to the War-
riors.
“I should have just
run him over,” Brownlee
said. “I just wanted to try
something.”
Brownlee’s mistake
didn’t ruin a good night
for him or for the Lions,
who won 24-0 to improve
to 4-1 on the season. But it
was the perfect example
of EMCC’s sloppiness,
a problem that plagued
the Lions on Thursday
and has been present all
season.
“Finish runs, not wor-
ry about trying to jump
over the top of everybody
and hold it with both
hands,” head coach Bud-
dy Stephens said. “That
goes back to me. That’s
my fault. … Those mis-
takes were on me. The of-
fense did what we asked
them to do. I thought
when we weren’t doing
those things, we were
clicking pretty good.”
The Lions weathered
two interceptions and a
pair of fumbles — Zias
Perryman lost one as well
as Brownlee — to pile up
488 total yards of offense
and take a commanding
early lead.
Josh Smith opened the
scoring on the Lions’ first

goal and Brownlee beat

to be far more than just a quarterback
By BEN PORTNOY

STARKVILLE — As Missis-
sippi State freshman quarter-
back Garrett Shrader strolled to
the podium in the media room at
the Leo Seal Jr. football complex
last week, the familiar tune of
Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight”
whispered off his bearded lips.
“I can feel it coming in the air
tonight, Ohhhh lordddd,” Shrad-
er melodically bellowed.
“What’s up guys?” he then
posited as he abruptly cut off
Collins’ chorus.
At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds,
Shrader is a walking paradox.
His hair is short and well
kempt — almost business like.
But below his thoughtfully mani-
cured hair and boyish face, is his
infamous bushy beard.
Boasting a look that would ri-
val most Civil War generals, the
long and rugged facial hair has
become a hot topic of conver-
sation both in Starkville and at
home in Charlotte.
After losing his helmet twice
during his collegiate debut
against Southern Miss on Sept.
7, Bulldogs quarterbacks coach
Andrew Breiner said he’d cut the
beard himself if Shrader’s head-
gear fell off one more time. He
was only half-kidding.
Shrader’s parents, Tracey and
Christie, aren’t exactly fans of it
either.
“We’ve been wanting him to
cut it,” Tracey told The Dispatch.
“But he’s going to be his own
man.”
In all, Shrader isn’t particu-
larly concerned with how oth-
ers view his beard or, for that
matter, his persona as a whole.
Rather, he’s a kindred spirit that
operates outside the conscribed
norms for a player in his position.
“Garrett doesn’t really care
about the outside world,” MSU
quarterback Tommy Stevens
said. “There’s no distraction for
Garrett. It’s really something to
admire.”
Country, trucks, cowbells and
Happy Valley
While Shrader’s current sta-
tus as an SEC quarterback mer-
its he be known for his on-field
exploits, there’s far more than
meets the eye when it comes to
the man known in online circles
as “The Amish Assassin.”
For one, he’s an avid country
music fan — though it’s not the
new, poppy sound coming out of
Nashville these days that catch-
es Shrader’s ear.
“He likes Hank Williams Sr.,”
Tracey said, emphasizing the
“Sr.”
There’s also his aged, ex-
tended bed, Dodge Ram pickup
truck.
For years Shrader spent time
maintaining his precious vehicle.
In high school, the truck would
be up on bumper plates from the
weight room as he worked on it
one day, and whipping around
the roads of Charlotte the next.
Jason Esteps, Shrader’s high
school coach at Charlotte Chris-
tian, even joked one weekend he
turned around to see the truck
with his sons in the back.
“He was over in my neighbor-
hood and he’s got my two boys
in the back, driving around,”
Esteps said. “I’m like, ‘I’m not
sure that thing is even put back
together correctly.’”
Like his country music fan-
dom, or affinity for old trucks,
Shrader is quick to note football
is as much a hobby as his other
interests.
A four-star recruit out of high
school, he was rated the No. 238
player in the class of 2018 by
247Sports.com. One of Moor-
head’s earliest targets in his time
at Penn State, Shrader unofficial-
ly visited Happy Valley in July
2017.
“I don’t know if it’s a quarter-
back-to-quarterback thing, but
personality-wise we kind of hit
it off and just grew from there,”
Moorhead, a former quarterback
at Fordham during his playing
days, told The Dispatch.
Throughout the recruiting
process, Moorhead constantly
checked in with his present-day
protégé. And as Moorhead made
the transition from Penn State to
MSU in 2019, Shrader followed
suit.
“We weren’t sure he was go-
ing to Mississippi State,” Trac-
ey conceded. “But I think if Joe
Moorhead was going to be at
Penn State, Garrett would’ve
gone to Penn State — I truly be-
lieve that.”
Echoing the ho-hum nar-
rative that seemingly follows
Shrader everywhere, Estep said
Starkville afforded the perfect
place for his former quarterback
to thrive given his rough, rugged
and rural personality.
“A bunch of people in south
Charlotte were like ‘Why in
the world are you going to
Starkville?’” he recounted. “But
I’m like if you know this cat it’s
where he’s going to fit in at.”
‘This dude is going to be
ready to play’
Shrader isn’t one for the dra-
matics — at least not conscious-
ly.
As a high school standout,
he earned a reputation for his
hard-working, determined at-
titude. Each yard gained was a
battle — one that he would fight,
scratch and claw to win.
Most recently, Shrader went
viral for his fourth down leap
over two Kansas State defend-
ers two weeks ago. As the phys-
ics-defying, helicopter-enducing
hit raced across the internet, he
wasn’t so much concerned with
the optics of the play as he was
the result.
“I hoped I got the first down,”
Shrader said. “I didn’t.”
It’s this same persistent com-
petitiveness, coupled with an al-
most uncaring or naive demean-
or, that makes MSU’s youngest
signal caller so endearing on and
off the field.
After being forced into ac-
tion against Southern Miss and
Kansas State when Stevens was
injured, Shrader earned his first
career start last weekend against
Kentucky.
Maintaining a relaxed ap-
proach and a calmness in the
pocket few freshmen possess, he
finished the afternoon 17-for-22
with 180 yards and an intercep-
tion, while adding another 125

Roush replacing Stenhouse with Buescher
The Associated Press
CHARLOT TE, N.C. — team co-owner Jack Roush.
Roush Fenway Racing made
a surprise driver change
Wednesday, saying Chris
Buescher will replace veteran
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. next sea-
son.
Stenhouse has driven the
No. 17 Ford for Roush the past
seven seasons and Roush held
options on his contract for
2020 and 2021. But the team
informed him it is parting
ways with the two-time Xfin-
ity Series champion.
Stenhouse has two Cup
victories for Roush, but is
winless this season, didn’t
make the playoffs and is 23rd
in the overall standings. He
won both his Xfinity titles
driving for Roush before he
was promoted to replace Matt
Kenseth in 2013.

New to No. 1 ranking, Heritage Academy hosts top-five showdown with Pillow
By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
Heritage Academy
took over the top spot in
the state private school
rankings this week, but
Patriots coach Sean Har-
rison isn’t satisfied with
the No. 1 spot this early
in the season.
“It’s good recognition,
but you ain’t No. 1 until
you hold the trophy at the
end of the year,” Harrison
said.
If the Patriots wish to
end up on top come play-
off time, beating fifth-
ranked Pillow Academy
on Friday might go a long
way.
The Mustangs and
Pats have a lot of similar-
ities, including big senior
classes on both sidelines.
“They’re one of the few
teams that can rival us
size-wise among the front
seven,” Harrison said.
“First team we’re playing
that I feel like has a real-
ly good passing game, so
this is basically the first
time that our secondary
really gets tested.”
The talent Pillow pos-
sesses means that Fri-
day’s game at Heritage
should be a well-matched
contest between two top
teams.
“It’ll be a good one,”
Harrison said.
West Point (4-1) at
Lafayette (3-1)
West Point’s players
know what it takes to beat
a tough team like Lafay-
ette. After all, they’ve
done it before.
“Our kids know what’s
at stake,” West Point
coach Chris Chambless
said. “I expect us to be
ready to go.”

Three matchups to watch New Hope wins district title
as MSU takes on Auburn
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — For
the first time in 2019, Mis-
sissippi State is hitting the
road — well, kind of.
Saturday’s visit to No.
7 Auburn marks the first
true road game for MSU af-
ter it opened the year with a
neutral site trip to New Or-
leans to take on Louisiana.
Facing a stiff Tiger de-
fense in a place the Bull-
dogs have won just twice
since 2001, this weekend
is the toughest test to
date for coach Joe Moor-
head’s bunch after they
dispatched of Kentucky in
their SEC opener last week.
Here are three match-
ups to watch on The Plains
this weekend:
MSU offensive line vs.
Auburn defensive line
The Auburn defensive
front is downright scary.
Boasting a three-headed
attack of Tyrone Trues-
dell, Marlon Davidson and
Derrick Brown, the Tigers
currently rank as the SEC’s
No. 2 rush defense — al-
lowing just 89.5 yards per
game on the ground.
Furthermore, Auburn is
even more stagnant against
the run at home as it relents
just 73 yards per contest at
Jordan-Hare Stadium.
“You are not just going
to line up and run the ball
downhill at these guys,”
Moorhead said. “It doesn’t
work that way. We are go-
ing to have to find creative
ways to create space and
angles.”
Opposite the Tigers,
MSU has finally sured
up its offensive line in the
wake of a few early season
injuries. Senior left guard
Dareuan Parker is back in
the fold, while senior cen-
ter Darryl Williams has
shaken off a lower body
injury that forced him from
the season opener in New
Orleans.
son en route to another
state title and West Point
is surely hoping this year
will follow the same pat-
tern.
The Green Wave have
won three straight games
after a loss to Louisville
and they’ve rolled over
each opponent since the
Wildcats.
But this is Lafayette,
the third-ranked team in
Class 5A — coming off a
bye, too.
They’ve had extra
preparation time for us,”
Chambless said. “We
know that. It’s all about
“execution and getting
in the right mindset and
getting yourself mentally
prepared to play. That’s a
huge battle.”
Chambless expects
the Commodores to pose
a big challenge for West
Point’s road district open-
er, as “everybody wants
to open the district unde-
feated.”
“Anytime you play La-
fayette, it’ll be a tough,
hard-fought game,”
Chambless said. “Can’t
key on one guy. Can’t key
on two guys. They’ve got
several that can hurt us.”
Making the right reads
and handling the proper
assignments should send
the Green Wave to victo-
ry, Chambless said.
“It’s all about every-
body doing their job,”
Chambless said. “That’s
what we’ve prepared for
all week.”
Noxubee County (3-2)
at Greenwood (5-0)
Greenwood knocked
out Noxubee County in
the second round of last
year’s Class 4A playoffs,
and the Tigers aren’t for-
getting that 20-0 loss any-
time soon.
Definitely not Friday,
when Noxubee Coun-
At present the Bulldogs
are rushing for 228 yards
per game — the third-best
mark in the SEC. With run-
ning back Kylin Hill con-
tinuing his historic start to
the season and a healthy
stable of blockers in front of
him, this game likely gets
decided in the trenches.
“He’s definitely dynam-
ic,” Auburn coach Gus
Malzahn said of Hill. “He
breaks tackles. He’s a big
guy — can do a lot of dif-
ferent things. He’s one of
the best in our league and
should be a good challenge
for our defense.”
MSU pass rush vs. Auburn
quarterback Bo Nix
It’s no secret Auburn
quarterback Bo Nix is still
learning.
A true freshman from
Birmingham, Nix won the
starting job out of camp
over redshirt freshman
Joey Gatewood.
In four games this sea-
son, the former five-star
recruit is a middling 56-of-
114 for 645 yards and five
touchdowns. Nix also add-
ed another 155 yards and a
score on 28 carries.
Facing an MSU defen-
sive front that has regained
some swagger since its
dominating performance
against Kentucky last
week, Nix should feel some
pressure this weekend.
Senior defensive ends
Chauncey Rivers and Mar-
quiss Spencer have enjoyed
a return to form over the
past two games. Rivers,
who was billed as a pre-
season third team All-SEC
performer, totaled three
tackles and four assists
against Kentucky and Kan-
sas State while also adding
two quarterback hurries
and a sack last week.
As for Spencer, he’s
added one tackle and two
assists over the past two
contests.
Facing a freshman
quarterback who has been

ty, which dropped from
the Class 3A rankings
this week, travels to face
the Bulldogs, the sec-
ond-ranked team in Class
4A.
“I think the kids are
looking forward to play-
ing them again,” Noxu-
bee County coach Teddy
Young said.
Tempo is still up
during practices in Ma-
con despite the Tigers’
consecutive losses to
Philadelphia and West
Point, Young said.
“I think we’re gonna
respond well,” Young
said.
Noxubee County’s op-
ponent Friday is fast and
physical — ”a very ex-
plosive team offensively,”
Young said.
To hand the Bulldogs
their first loss, Young
said, the Tigers must do
a number of things right.
“We cannot turn the
football over,” Young said.
“We’ve gotta be good on
special teams. We’ve got-
erratic at best through the
air, Rivers and Spencer will
need to amp up the pres-
sure on Nix should MSU
hope to spring the upset.
“You want to make it
as difficult as you can for
a young guy,” Moorhead
said. “But I think Bo, much
like Garrett (Shrader), is
very mature and plays with
a little bit more poise and
confidence than you see
from a true freshman so
we’re going to do our best
but he’s definitely a cool
customer back there.”
MSU vs. the
Auburn crowd
There’s nothing quite
like a hostile road atmo-
sphere on Saturdays in
the SEC.
MSU will get just that
when they head to Au-
burn this weekend as part
of the team’s first real
road test of the year.
Moorhead and his
staff have attempted to
simulate crowd noise this
week by blaring speakers
up and down the sidelines
at practice — though how
well that actually mimics
the Tiger faithful remains
to be seen.
“I don’t know if you
can exactly replicate it,”
Moorhead said Wednes-
day. “You can do your
best to simulate it.”
It’s no secret MSU has
struggled on the road in
recent years. Over the
past five seasons, the
Bulldogs are a mediocre
14-12 away from home —
and that includes 2015’s
4-1 mark.
Last season, MSU av-
eraged of 3.3 points in
games at Kentucky, LSU
and Alabama, before
exploding for 35 at Ole
Miss.
The Bulldogs likely
don’t want to get into a
track meet with Malz-
ahn’s spread rushing
attack, but points could
come at a premium.
ta play four quarters of
good football.”
If the Tigers can man-
age that, they just might
find last year’s playoff
loss avenged.
Starkville Academy (4-
1) vs. Washington (2-2)
Starkville Academy
coach Chase Nicholson
knows his team doesn’t
necessarily have to play
a perfect game Friday to
beat Washington. But he
still wants one.
“We know it doesn’t
have to be perfect, but we
expect it to be perfect ev-
ery play,” Nicholson said.
“We’ve gotta execute like
we’ve never executed
before. We’ve gotta play
the best week of football
we’ve played yet.”
The Volunteers are rid-
ing a four-game winning
streak that was nearly
snapped last week when
Starkville Academy had
to rally for a 20-19 win
over Leake Academy.

The small New Hope
volleyball contingent that
made their way to Co-
lumbus High’s gymnasi-
um Thursday night each
raised their hands in the
air and lifted a single fin-
ger with anticipation.
Each fan realized New
Hope was one point away
from capturing its first
district title in program
history.
When the ball landed,
the Trojans celebrated
their 3-0 road victory over
Columbus before grouping
together to pose for a pleth-
ora of photos from eager
parents long awaiting the
moment. The Class 5A, Re-
gion 1 Trojans dispatched
the Falcons by set scores of
25-7, 25-7, 25-12. With the
win, the team improved to
16-12 overall and 4-0 in dis-
trict play.
“I’m just beyond excit-
ed,” New Hope coach Alli-
son Woolbright said. “This
is the first team we’re dis-
trict champs and undefeat-
The New Hope volleyball bench erupts in celebration after the final point of the
Trojans’ 3-0 victory over Columbus Thursday. With the win, New Hope clinched the
district title.
Friday, September 27, 2019
“Our guys have contin-
ued to show a lot of grit
and a lot of courage and
a lot of fight,” Nicholson
said.
They’ve got to keep
it up against the Gener-
als, who are coming off a
41-7 loss at Pillow Acad-
emy. Nicholson noted
that Washington’s still a
“tough bunch” and plays
hard.
“They’re gonna come
with a mentality that
they’ve got to win, they
want to win, they need
to win, because it’s a dis-
trict game and it’s an im-
portant game,” Nicholson
said.
The Vols have to match
Washington’s intensity
and play mistake-free
football if they want to im-
prove to 5-1.
“You’ve gotta go out
there and play at a whole
new level, and that’s our
expectation,” Nicholson
said. “That’s the only way
we’ll walk off the field
with a win.”
ed district champs at that.
It’s just like something we
can’t believe. I was nervous
all day.”
This feeling had been a
long time in the making for
Woolbright. Just two sea-
sons ago, the Trojans fin-
ished a meager 3-13 before
improving to 10-14 in 2018.
Finishing the season above
.500, a task New Hope has
failed to achieve for nearly
a decade, would have been
enough for the fourth-year
coach. Winning a district
title turned out to be the
cherry on top.
“I think I knew when
we first started our condi-
tioning back in the spring,
I just thought we were
young but had a lot of tal-
ent,” Woolbright said. “A
lot of our girls were really
committed and worked
hard all summer. They just
gave everything their best
effort and were fully com-
mitted.”
In previous district
matchups, New Hope de-
feated Columbus 3-0 on
Aug. 22 and took down
Saltillo 3-0 on Aug. 29 and

West Lowndes (4-1) at
Vardaman (0-4)
If there’s ever such a
thing as a good loss, West
Lowndes coach Anthony
King said, last Friday’s
defeat against defending
Class 1A state champion
Nanih Waiya counts.
It was the Panthers’
first loss of the season, and
morale is still high at the
school, King said. So Fri-
day’s game against winless
Vardaman is a critical way
to get back on track.
“We saw some things
that we did wrong last
week, and we’ll be ready
to correct those mistakes,”
King said.
West Lowndes will work
on improving its special
teams play and rotating
players more effectively to
avoid fatigue against a run-
heavy Vardaman team.
“I think we’re prepared,”
King said. “We haven’t had
too many teams that could
run on us. I think it should
be an even match.”
Sept. 19.
“Our players talk really
well (on the court),” Wool-
bright said. “Our team
really lifts each other up
most of the time. They all
have the same goal and
you can tell that when they
play.”
With the district cham-
pionship locked up, the
Trojans will host a post-
season game on Oct. 17
against the Class 5A Re-
gion 2 runner up. New
Hope’s playoff opponent is
still to be determined. The
Trojans still have three
non-district matchups left
on the schedule, the first
coming against Choctaw
County on Tuesday.
“It feels great, we’ve
never (won the district)
before,” said eighth grader
Annie Woolbright, who led
the team with 426 assists
entering Thursday’s con-
test. “Maybe it will set up a
great finish for the rest of

Eagles pick off Rodgers’ late pass, beat Packers 34-27

The Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. —
Nigel Bradham picked
off Aaron Rodgers’ pass
in the end zone with 20
seconds left, Jordan How-
ard gashed Green Bay
for his second career
three-touchdown game
and the Philadelphia Ea-
gles ended a two-game
losing streak with a 34-27
victory over the Packers
on Thursday night.
Howard finished with
87 yards on 15 carries and
two touchdowns rushing
and one receiving, Carson
Wentz went 16 for 27 for
160 yards, three scores
and no turnovers, and the
Eagles (2-2) rebounded
after losing consecutive
games by a combined sev-
en points.
Rodgers started 10 for
10 and finished 34 for 53
for 422 yards, two touch-
downs and a fumble that
set up a short Philadel-
phia scoring drive.
Davante Adams had a
career-high 180 yards on
10 catches for Green Bay,
but he wasn’t on the field
for the Packers (3-1) on
the last drive because of a
toe injury.
After punting on its
first two drives and falling
behind 10-0, Philadelphia
scored on four straight
possessions against a de-
fense that had only given
up 35 points through the
first three games.
Sacked six times in
the previous two games,
Wentz managed to stay
clean throughout most of
the game. Zach Ertz had a
team-high seven catches
for 65 yards, and Alshon
Jeffery, who missed all
but six snaps over the past
two weeks with a calf inju-
ry, finished with 38 yards
and a touchdown on three
catches.
Running back Jamaal
Williams caught a pass
from Rodgers for no gain
and was leveled by de-
fensive Derek Barnett
on Green Bay’s first play
from scrimmage. Wil-
liams was wheeled off on
a stretcher and did not re-
turn. Barnett was hit with
an unnecessary rough-
ness penalty. Williams
was being evaluated for
head and neck injuries.
The Packers said Wil-
liams had feeling in his
extremities.
Williams turned out to
be the first of a plethora of
injuries on the night for
both teams. Eagles cor-
nerback Avonte Maddox
was carted off the field
on a stretcher late in the
fourth quarter.
Rodgers and Adams
connected on a 58-yard
completion on the open-
ing drive. It was the lon-
gest play of the season for
Green Bay, who contin-
ued its trend of hot starts.
Aaron Jones scored from
3 yards out two plays lat-
er to give the Packers the
early lead.
Rodgers was 4 of 4 for
71 yards on the opening
drive.
Mason Crosby added
a field goal in the begin-
ning of the second quar-
ter to make it 10-0.
The Eagles finally got
a little momentum on a
67-yard return by Miles
Sanders on the ensuing
kickoff. The return set up
a 6-yard score by Jeffery.
Rodgers and Adams
linked up again for a 40-
yard gain on the next
drive, which again ended
in a field goal for Green
Bay to give the Packers a
13-7 lead.
Wentz found tight
end Dallas Goedert for a
3-yard touchdown strike.
The score gave the Eagles
a 14-13 lead just before the
two-minute warning.
Rodgers fumbled on
the following drive after
a strip-sack by Barnett.
The Eagles capitalized
with 1-yard score by How-
ard. Howard’s touchdown
made it 21-13 with 54 sec-
onds to go.
Rodgers needed just 50
seconds to lead the Pack-
ers 70 yards. The two-time
MVP found Geronimo Al-
lison for a 31-yard gain,
and the pair linked up for
a 19-yard touchdown to
make it 21-20 at the half.
The Eagles opened the
second half with a 20-yard
score from Wentz to How-
ard. After a failed two-
point conversion attempt,
Philadelphia led 27-20.
Jimmy Graham got his
first catch and score since
Week 1. Graham had six
catches for 61 yards and
a 14-yard touchdown that
tied the game at 27-27 with
3:16 to go in the third.

EMCC
Continued from Page 1B
er over the top less than
three minutes later for a
32-yard score from Nev-
ille.
Late in the second
quarter, EMCC kept
possession deep in East
Central territory when
Neville found Rashad
Eades on a comeback
route on fourth down.
On 3rd-and-goal from
the 10, Neville tossed a
screen to Brownlee, and
the receiver did the rest,
putting EMCC up 17-0.
Brownlee credited the
knowledge and talent
the former Washington
State passer brings to
the team.
“He’s got a lot of expe-
rience,” Brownlee said.
“He teaches us stuff that
we don’t know ... It’s a
blessing playing with
him.”
EMCC kept its 17-0
advantage through a
sluggish third quarter
featuring a missed field
goal by each team.
In the fourth quarter,
though, chaos reigned.
The Lions and Warriors
combined for a whop-
ping seven turnovers,
including a sequence of
three straight plays re-
sulting in a giveaway.
First, Perryman fum-
bled into the end zone
with 14:29 left in the
game. East Central gave
it right back as the Lions’
EJ Woods recovered a
JD Martin fumble at the
Warriors’ 19-yard line.
Then Neville tried for a
score and was intercept-
ed in the end zone by
East Central’s Desmond
Williams.
But the Lions weren’t
hurt by the barrage of
giveaways, because the
Warriors made up for
it and then some. East
Central punted after
Neville’s pick, but fresh-
man quarterback Hol-
man Edwards threw an
interception on each of
the following three War-
rior drives.
All three picks found
the waiting hands of
freshman defensive
back Kel Williams, who
became the first EMCC
player to intercept three
passes in a single game
since Justin Cox in 2011
against Mississippi Gulf
Coast.
“If you’re doing your
job as a DB, stuff’s gon-
na come your way,” said
Williams, a Starkville
High product.
He acknowledged that
while the defense cer-
tainly did its job, posting
its 23rd shutout in Ste-
phens’ 12 years as head
coach, the offense was
lacking, and that poses
significant concerns go-
ing forward.
“We left some points
on the board,” Williams
said. “We played good
but not great. We gave up
too many rushing yards.”
Despite the misplays,
Williams noted, EMCC
is still accomplishing its
one major goal, and that’s
enough.
“We did what we had
to do,” Williams said. “We
won the game.”

way through the half.
Booting a ball toward the
top left corner, her shot
wobbled just wide before
harmlessly falling for a
goal kick.
Battling through a
back-and-forth second
half, sophomore forward
Monigo Karnley col-
lected a ball toward the
top of the Ole Miss box.
Bobbing and weaving
through three Rebels, her
shot attempt was blocked
out of bounds by the Ole
Miss defense.
After a handful of way-
ward chances missed the
mark late, English cor-
ralled a rifled shot from
Rebels junior Channing
Foster in the waning min-
utes of the second over-
time period to eek out the
draw.
Friday marks the sixth
time in seven years the
Magnolia Cup returns to
Oxford as MSU has not
downed Ole Miss since a
3-2 double overtime victo-
ry in Starkville in 2012.
“For me that’s very bit-
ter,” Waldner conceded.
“But my last year playing
Ole Miss I’d rather take a
tie than a loss.”
Through 10 games,
the Bulldogs now sit
5 -4-1 and 0 -1-1 in SEC
play. Having lost three
of their past four match-
es — all to ranked oppo-
nents — MSU now gets
a slight reprieve as the
main body of SEC play
awaits.
The Bulldogs’ final
eight games of the year
include just two teams
currently ranked within
TopDrawerSoccer.com’s
Top 25 poll — (No. 18
Tennessee and No. 19
Arkansas), though Arm-
strong maintains each
match will be a unique
battle of its own — start-
ing with Saturday’s bout
with Kentucky.
“To be honest, we’re
taking it one game at a
time — we have to,” he
conceded. “We’ve just
got to focus on the next
opponents and what the
game plan for that is.
There’s so many dif-
ferent styles of teams
in the league and each
game presents a differ-
ent challenge so we’ve
just got to make sure we
don’t look too far ahead
and that’s what we’re do-
ing with Kentucky.”

Shrader
Continued from Page 1B
yards rushing.
Monday, it was re-
vealed Shrader had been
named SEC Freshman
of the Week — an honor
Breiner had the privilege
of revealing to the North
Carolina native.
Sitting in the training
room at the Seal Complex
earlier this week as re-
ceived treatment, Breiner
approached Shrader.
“ C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s ,”
Breiner said.
“On what?” Shrader
asked puzzled.
“You won SEC Fresh-
man of the Week,”
Breined added.
“Oh. Sweet. Thanks.”
Shrader responded in
his laissez faire south-
ern drawl — later admit-
ting the honor probably
meant more to his par-
ents than him.
“The way he comes
off and people’s first im-
pression of him is not I
think what he is,” Estep
said. “He’s such a good
kid, he’s such a hard
worker and I think he
comes across as ‘Hey,
no big deal, I’ll just do
this.’ And he’s obviously
wired that way but this
dude is going to be ready
to play.”
‘He keeps his head
down and tries to
keep his priorities
straight’
Concluding his press
conference Tuesday
night, Shrader stepped
out from behind the po-
dium as the click-clack-
ing of his flip-flops re-
verberated throughout
the room.
Stopping for a mo-
ment, he quipped with
the remaining report-
ers that a sorority girl
in the stands handed
him a Zeta Tau Alpha
hat during last week’s
game against Kentucky.
Shrader added through
a laugh he wore the hat
on the sidelines for a bit.
As he began heading
for the glass door exit
to the media room, one
onlooker asked if “Zeta”
was his favorite sorority.
“Let’s not,” Shrader
said through an ear-to-
ear grin — not letting
on too much, but enough
to know there’s a story
there.
Though the exchange
lasted just a few sec-
onds, it was one of the
countless instances en-
capsulating the bearded
signal caller’s personal-
ity in his short time at
MSU.
“He keeps his head
down and tries to keep
his priorities straight,”
Tracey said. “But he’s
still a kid — what you
see is what you get. He’s
going to be truthful, he’s
going to be honest and
that’s just him. He’s just
going to be himself.”
It remains unclear
whether Shrader will
start Saturday at No. 7
Auburn. Moorhead said
Monday if Stevens —
who hosted Shrader on
his visit to Happy Valley
and continues to rehab
from a lingering up-
per-body injury — isn’t
healthy enough to play,
Shrader will take the
reigns under center —
grizzled beard and all.
“He’s the ultimate
competitor,” Estep said.
“Take all that stuff aside
— cut the hair, cut the
beard — and he is go-
ing to compete. At the
end of the day the guys
that survive in the SEC
and specifically the SEC
West you need to proba-
bly be wired the way he
is to do the things he
is going to do. He’s got
the makeup to help Mis-
sissippi State, or help
Mississippi State, in my
opinion to a whole other
level.”

The Crimson Tide
hasn’t needed Tagovailoa
to force anything or sup-
ply any fourth-quarter he-
roics, routing four straight
unranked opponents. Ala-
bama hasn’t played a mar-
quee game so far.
But Tagovailoa’s stats
are no less impressive.
He ranks in the top
five nationally in passing
touchdowns and efficien-
cy and completion per-
centage. He has thrown
for 17 touchdowns with-
out an interception and is
completing 77.7 percent of
his passes.
All that while attempt-
ing only four passes in the
fourth quarter, all com-
pletions. In that regard,
it’s much like most of last
season for the lefty from
Hawaii.
Last season’s Heisman
Trophy runner-up, Ta-
govailoa has thrown five
touchdown passes in each
of the last two games
against South Carolina
and Southern Miss. He
matched the school re-
cord set by Gary Holling-
sworth in 1989 against
Ole Miss and then did it
again a week later.
He threw for three
touchdown passes in the
first 20 minutes against
New Mexico State and ran
for a 25-yard score before
halftime as well. Against
South Carolina, he passed
for a career-high 444
yards and five TDs.
It’s hard to imagine
that he needed to become
“a lot more confident” af-
ter a season in which he
shattered Alabama pass-
ing marks and finished
behind only Oklahoma’s
Kyler Murray in the
Heisman race. It did end
on a sour note when Ta-
govailoa was outplayed by
Clemson freshman Trevor
Lawrence in the national
championship game . But
he’s picked back up where
he started off, not how he
finished.
“I think (confidence)
is knowing what to do,
understanding what to do
and playing at a fast pace,
high-level kind of thing,”
Tagovailoa said. “I mean,
it’s just going out there
and being relaxed, doing
what I do. That’s what con-
fidence is.”
Confidence also comes
in knowing he has a cad-
re of receivers including
Jerry Jeudy and Henry
Ruggs III who are deep
threats and can also turn
short passes into big
gains. Tagovailoa already
has 23 completions of 25-
plus yards.
Tagovailoa also said he
has a better grasp of the
different variations of how
defenses run their cover-
ages.
“Just focusing and
taking what the defense
gives him,” Ruggs said.
“He understands a lot
about defenses now and,
not saying he didn’t (be-
fore), but he just under-
stands what the defense
is going to give him and
what they’re trying to
do. So he’s confident and
taking what the defense
gives him and letting us
make our plays.”

picture of life, but you do get to
control how you frame your part

someone else control of the

you can wear things out. It’s
healthy to periodically adjust the
speed.

You’ll learn something from
each interaction. Also, you’ve

funny thing. You’ll want the thing

most desirable to someone else
when you’re unreachable. Think
of a way to use this to your
advantage.

viously told AP that the
news reports stemmed
from an “attempted coup”
orchestrated by several
disgruntled former board

who are leaking internal
university communica-

He said he has asked the

he considers a criminal

Falwell is the son of
